# Claude Mind

You have access to a persistent memory system powered by Claude Mind. All your observations, discoveries, and learnings are stored in a single `.claude/mind.mv2` file.

## How to Execute Memory Commands

node "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/dist/scripts/find.js" "<query>" [limit]

- `node "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/dist/scripts/find.js" "authentication" 5`
- `node "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/dist/scripts/find.js" "database schema" 10`

### Ask Questions
```bash
node "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/dist/scripts/ask.js" "<question>"
```
